Description

Buy Fluke FLK-IRR1-SOL

The Fluke FLK-IRR1-SOL Solar Irradiance Meter is a versatile tool designed specifically for solar installers and technicians. It simplifies the process of installing, commissioning, and troubleshooting photovoltaic systems by providing critical measurements in a single, easy-to-use device. This meter is ideal for professionals working on rooftop systems or large field installations, offering a comprehensive set of features to enhance efficiency and accuracy.

Key Features and Benefits

The Fluke FLK-IRR1-SOL is equipped with several key features that make it an indispensable tool for solar professionals:

  • Solar Irradiance Measurement: Measures solar irradiance up to 1400 W/m² with a resolution of 1 W/m² and an accuracy of ±(5% + 5 digits).
  • Temperature Measurement: The Fluke FLK-IRR1-SOL offers two options for temperature measurement: a built-in sensor and an external suction-mount temperature probe, which allow for both ambient and panel temperature readings.
  • Integrated Compass and Inclination Sensor: These features enable users to measure and document roof or site orientation and PV panel tilt, which are crucial for optimizing solar array performance.
  • High-Contrast LCD Screen: This screen is easily readable in direct sunlight, ensuring that measurements can be taken efficiently even in challenging outdoor conditions.
  • Portable Design: Includes a protective carrying case with a shoulder strap, making it easy to transport and store.

Design and Functionality

The Fluke FLK-IRR1-SOL is designed with a rugged, compact body and a user-friendly interface. It is powered by four AA alkaline batteries, offering a typical battery life of 50 hours or over 9,000 readings. The meter operates within a temperature range of -20°C to +50°C and can store data in environments from -30°C to +60°C. Its IP40 protection ensures durability against minor environmental factors.

Applications

The Fluke FLK-IRR1-SOL is essential for various applications in the solar industry, including:

  • Photovoltaic System Design and Surveying: Helps determine the solar resource and expected production at a site by measuring irradiance and accounting for shading.
  • Installation and Commissioning: Ensures that solar panels are installed correctly by measuring orientation, tilt, and temperature.
  • Maintenance and Troubleshooting: Facilitates ongoing analysis and diagnosis of solar systems to ensure optimal performance.
